Remove Hard Water Deposits the Eco Friendly Way

I have been forever searching for some type of product to remove drain clogs from the bathtub and sink and something to remove hard water deposits from the sink drain and toilet bowl. Oh- and they need to be environmentally friendly. Not an easy task when it comes to drain clogs! Well, I have found them and they work.

The first product is a drain clog remover called a Drain Stick which you can find at your local hardware store. I was actually looking for a product called "ZipIt" (which they didn't have) but they are similar. I spent the $5.49 and decided to try it. It's a long piece of plastic that has a serrated tip that you push right down the drain, twist it and remove. You don't even have to remove the stop. Be prepared to dispose of all the gunk it pulls up. It's a simple, inexpensive and eco-friendly way to remove clogs and can be used over and over again.

The second product is called a "Pumie" which I found at a local grocery store. This is for removing stubborn stains, rust and hard water deposits from toilet bowls. It is 100% natural pumice, cost about $8.00 and it works! I was thrilled to find an eco friendly way to remove these hard water deposits. The "Pumie" is abrasive but safe for porcelain bowls, around pets and for the environment. It is recommended to test an area on colored porcelain bowls first.

No more pouring money and toxic chemicals down the drain!
